Focus more on environmental protection - President Uhuru Kenyatta told.

President Uhuru Kenyatta was asked to consider reintroducing the 4K clubs in our schools as a way of building a environmental care culture in our society as early as lower primary. This came as Embu Miss Environment Champion Ms Suzie Mwende led the community in a tree planting exercise at the University of Embu compound.

Mwende said the Moi era slogan of "Cut one, plant two" played greatest role in protecting our environment and improving the forest cover. "We can review the Moi slogan and reintroduce the environmental clubs such as 4K clubs in our schools and colleges". Mwende added.

"I have always had a passion in environmental conservation. After clinching the coveted crown, Miss Environment Kenya Embu County in 2017, I got a platform to explore on tree planting.
My first tree planting in 2017 was at Wanjee Nature Park in Mukurwe-ini, Nyeri County".

My organization

"Same year I launched my environmental conservation organization called Green Economy Initiatives which started planting more trees in a private farm in Mbeere South, Embu County".

20,000 - Number of trees planted

"I have previously planted more than 20,000 trees through GEI and in collaboration with pupils and other environmental organisations.
My Target areas are schools and private farms. This is because we don't just plant trees and leave them to grow but we plant and nurture them".

The event was joined by the University of Embu students, officers from Mugoya regional police headquarters, community and members of press.

"In institutions we are sure that 99% of tree seedlings will grow. We also want the young generation to grow being environmental conscious". Ms Mwende added when speaking to our correspondent at the University of Embu.

"This year we are guided by the World Environment Day theme #BeatAirPollution and Forest Day theme #TreesandEducation".

Target

"We are targeting to plant at least 50,000 tree seedlings by the end of this year.
There are more tree planting projects already planned for the months of May, June and July and I call on communities to join and support me in making the world best place for mankind".

Stop Militarizing Education Ministry, CS Magoha told

Stop attracting too many wars with Teachers and stakeholders. Manyatta MP John Muchiri has told Education CS Magoha to stop operating the ministry like a military camp. Curriculum Development The MP asked CS Magoha to allow all stakeholders to give their input since the curriculum change will be for all us and not for individual purpose. This comes as the stalemate between CS Magoha and the teacher's union KNUT continues to widen. Muchiri said "Most of the school we have in Kenya are Church sponsored and it would be wise for the Education Ministry to involve even the sponsors in the curriculum change". No More Bursaries Manyatta MP John Muchiri opposed the planned move by the ministry of education to stop the commonly known CDF bursary to needy day secondary school students . He said that the move was ill advised since it will attract high number of school drop outs. The ministry of education has proposed that beginning next year the CDF bursary should on

She will have served as British Prime Minister for three years. May was forced out by her own cabinet and wider party, who lost faith in her ability to deliver Brexit.
